I was wearing 22W jeans and XL/XXL tops. Now I'm in size 5 or 7 jeans and M /sometimes S tops. Along with my boobs I lost my butt so my jeans are slim cut rather than relaxed fit. I included my 12 month before and after pics (still the same at 18 months) I am thrilled with my surgery and everything that came with it. I researched for months and read thousands of threads on this and other WLS boards, so nothing really came as a surprise (other than how easy it's all been). Never had one minute of regret.

I didnt tell no one either, my family is very judgemental and criticizes and i don't feel like hearing there opinions

I have to squat for the rest of my life. I didn't have an ass then, and I sure don't have one now lol

I went from a 44DD to a very droopy 34A/B. (I'd be a firm A if it weren't for the extra skin I have to stuff in the cup).

Another bonus to look forward to !!
@@qnz234 I had my nipples pierced a few years ago and took them out after 9 months of problems.

Holy moly donut shop! 13 lbs! U go girl! Yea it's been good this far, but I do understand the "never ever again" sentiment! Took me a good while to go through with it!

they sure will! i make the best of it. lol got my nips pierced

thank you so much for replying

Yep, they're gonna shrink. I'm down 2 bra sizes, and one cup size, in 5 weeks!

This is exactly what I hope to do, tell everyone I'm going on a diet (this is the truth) be more vocal about my progress and take it a day at a time after that. and on social days tell people I'm on a juice diet hence why I'm not eating x
Great way of thinking!

I didnt tell no one, absolutely no one, its no ones business, if anyone asks , ill tell them , i eat healthy, and I jog and exercise 3-4xs a week for 30-45 min, which is a good thing
I meant to say,which is the truth

@sleevemetoo
I tried the Muscle Milk Meal Replacement shake this morning. It was actually pretty good!
You might check it out.

I'm receiving some of my Protein powders today... going to familiarize myself with all 5, cutting out soda pop, and going to start taking my Vitamins everyday. My next appointment isn't until aug 10th... PREP session. Can't schedule surgery until after sleep study on Aug 7th.

Happy Monday everyone! Does anyone have anything WLS related going on this week?
I have my first weight mgmt meeting on Tuesday. Plus, drumroll please.... I removed all unhealthy food and Snacks from my pantry and donated them to the food bank, this weekend.
New slate!

Extention cord so u can plug ur cell phone charger in so u dont have to keep getting up while ur sore

I completely know where your coming from, I wish I could have lost the weight myself. But I don't want to waste anymore time being so depressed and low about myself. Work for me shouldnt be too much of a problem as I will just tell them I'm on a shake diet... Maybe you could say that too? It isn't entirely a lie, we will be on shakes.. you will be doing alot more exercise. İf you read further up this thread you may feel slightly more positive and clear how to tackle this. I certainly feel more confident in what steps I want to take x hope it helps and remember we are all here to listen x x

Had my surgery on 3rd oct 2014 where I was at my heaviest at 268kg which I think was a bmi of 77???
Im 5"11 and have lost 79kg so far (174 lbs). Bmi now is still high at 51 but definetly making progress! Making sure I dont lose it too quick and make sure its sustainable this time.

I also had very low Iron, around 8. My doctor had me take 1 iron supplement with orange juice 3 times a day. I was up to 11.4 within 2 months.

Hi everyone. I have just been put on the WL for sleeve surgery and should have the surgery within 3/4 months. I am really scared as I haven't told anyone I'm doing it. I feel like everyone will judge me and I will find myself in the center of gossip. I know I shouldn't care what people think but I feel like a failure for not being able to lose weight myself. Is there anyone that kept their surgery a secret?? Thanks in advance x

wow its like almost everything u said was like me, same current weight ,same goal weight and same expected sleeve surgery month, please keep me updated and best of luck on your journey

Hello... I'm a possible August or September sleever here. I started the journey 5/20...after my medical consult with the surgeon, Nutritionist, and Psychiatrist... I was a cigarette smoker, so my surgeon told me he wants me smoke free for 3 months. I haven't picked up a cigarette since 5/25. I was order labs and a sleep study, which I got my labs done and the earliest for the study is 8/7... my pre-determination letter was sent on 6/9 and I received my approval today 6/18. I also have a prep session on 8/10, which I believe will be the day my preop diet starts... just a feeling. I can't schedule until after my sleep study. Once I schedule the surgery, I'll also schedule my nutritionist visit to go over pre and post op nutrition.... and an anesthesia visit. The process is moving fairly faster, because I work for the hospital the is doing the surgery and my insurance is hospital insurance (private *** network). I'm really excited... I'm currently 275lbs bmi of 43.6 and my goal is 145-150lbs...

I have been trowing up since the day of my surgery. I can only eat a bite or two before I am sick. I
tried the chew, chew, chew. It doesn't work for me, meat makes me really sick. I can't eat much and I throw randomly throughout the day or evening. I stay hungry all of the time. I would rather not
eat than to be sick. How is your weight loss coming, do you get sick at all.
